Bloons Tower Defense (game): Difference between revisions

Line 574:

*[[Sell]]ing should be avoided as much as possible, since income is very limited.

*In general, Dart Towers and Tack Towers are the only towers worth using due to their low cost and the lack of any Bloon types that resist them.

**The Ice Tower is expensive, deals no damage, does nothing to White Bloons, and doesn't really help Dart Towers and Tack Towers since the freeze effect also makes Bloons immune to them.

**The Dart tower is cheap compared to its affects and cost. The Piercing Darts upgrade lets one Dart Tower pop 2 Bloons which is cheaper than another Dart tower. Range Upgrades are a poor choice since more towers will increase both damage and area coverage.

**The Bomb Tower is expensive, has poor damage output due to its low attack speed, and does nothing to Black Bloons.

**The Tack Tower is incredibly powerful at corners. You want to point as many tacks into the track as possible (highest on The Maze is 7). Early game the fixed projectile paths can leak Bloons but the more dense clusters can be cut through quickly due to its high damage. Place these as early in the track as possible to pop clusters before they break apart. New Tack Towers are more cost-effective than buying Faster Shooting as long as there are still ideal spots. Extra Range Tacks can be useful after your defense is stabilized to make hitting Bloons more consistent and reaching the opposite end of corners when several are packed into a small spot.

**The Super Monkey isn't worth saving up for. 9 Dart Towers and 8 Piercing Darts upgrades can be bought for about same cost and has roughly the same damage output.

**The Ice Tower is expensive, deals no damage, does nothing to White Bloons, and doesn't really help Dart Towers and Tack Towers since the freeze effect also makes Bloons immune to them. Both upgrades are bad since you should not be using this tower in the first place.

**The Bomb Tower is expensive, has poor damage output due to its low attack speed, and does nothing to Black Bloons. If placed near the middle of the track, one or two can put in good damage. Bigger Bombs is a fine upgrade if you can afford it but is too expensive most of the time. Extra Range Bombs is pointless since the Bomb Tower already has a sizeable range and taking the upgrade increases the chance of missing bombs completely near the edge due to slow projectile speed.

**The Super Monkey isn't worth saving up for. 9 Dart Towers and 8 Piercing Darts upgrades can be bought for about same cost and has roughly the same damage output. The Epic Range upgrade lets it hit most of the map from the middle but suffers from missing darts the further away the Bloons are from it, this can result in it getting distracted by a Bloon across the map and failing to hit it while the rest break through your defenses.
